Ingredients
- 2.5 cups chicken the equivalent of 3 diced chicken breasts, diced
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 1 dash nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 2 scallions ( diced)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1.5 tablespoons garlic minced
- 3 cups sweet potato peeled & diced
- 3 potato peeled & diced, red
Instructions
- You can choose to make this in a crockpot or on the stove top, pick your poison. In either, start out by adding in your vegetable broth. I prefer using a powdered type, Vegeta is pretty amazing and one of my favorite for flavor. Make sure it's good and strong-tasting!
- In a skillet, heat your butter on medium heat and when it's sizzling, add in the garlic and onions.
- Saute them until the scallions are tender then add in your spices.
- Saute another minute or two, then add to the pot. Now, the reason I always make my broth first is so that you can deglaze the pan of its butter and spices.
- Take a few tablespoons of the broth and clean out that pan, swirling it around to get all the spices out, then add it to the pot.
- Add in the rest of the ingredients - potatoes and chicken- and cook until the potatoes are tender.
- Serve (see notes for other options as to how to finish the soup)

Notes
- You have a couple of choices for serving with this soup. You can leave it like I did in my picture (chunky and broth filled) or you can remove some potatoes and puree them for a smoother base. You can also puree the whole dang thing. Again, up to you. All are good choices but it depends on what you are looking for in a soup.
